“For Svea von Hehn, what constitutes the "organization of the future" is obvious: "It responds to people's needs." This is all the more relevant because employees can choose the organization they want to work for more than ever before, says the author, management consultant and founder of "Re- turn on Meaning," who recently visited Vienna at the invitation of Josef Fritz and Board Search.”

"How much room does mindfulness have in your daily work routine?" - Meditation in a training context can act like a tool for corporate therapy. This is because mindfulness exercises can enhance reflective capacity and emotional intelligence. However, individual encouragement for a more mindful workday does not release companies and society from the obligation to strive for detachment and relief in other ways as well.”

"When was the last time you were angry? And what made you feel good?" - Not only pleasant feelings like joy and empathy, but also the unpleasant emotions are an aspect of our aliveness. Svea describes in the current cover story of COSMOPOLITAN, strategies for dealing with unpleasant emotions: 1)Looking at your emotions like a current weather situation - is it stormy or sunny? 2) Or trying to name the feeling exactly - "name it to tame it". 3) Or to give it a shape like a dragon that comes, stays and goes.
